punctuation delay after restarting dectalk

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
I've never seen it degrade each time I turn the dectalk on and off. 
However, I have seen that speakup shortens the punctuation delay. Heck, If 
I could get my windows screen reader to do that I'd be happy. Anyway, I'll 
look through my dectalk manual (I've still got it somewhere) and see if I 
can find the command. From there it should be easy to figure out what value 
speakup echos to it by looking at the source. Once that's done it would 
just be a matter of echoing that command to /proc/speakup/dec_express/direct.
